24 Chester Street

Wingett House, located at 24 Chester Street, is a building rendered over brick with a slate roof, dating from the 18th century. It stands three storeys high and features a three-window range with a central entrance. The doorway is adorned with an overlight set in a moulded architrave, supported by console brackets beneath an entablature hood. The ground floor has been altered with inserted shop and office frontages. The first floor has 16-pane sash windows, while a narrower 12-pane sash window is positioned above the entrance. The top storey features two-light casement windows alongside a central 6-pane sash window. A plain wood eaves cornice and end wall stacks complete the exterior.

Number 24, also rendered over brick with a slate roof, is two storeys tall and has a two-window range with a central entrance. The entrance features a panelled door with a radial fanlight, set in a moulded architrave with brackets to an entablature hood. Each floor has flanking 2-pane sash windows, one of which has been renewed. The building has a plain eaves cornice and a blocking course, with an axial stack positioned towards the rear.

The adaptation of Wingett House for office use has led to several changes in the internal layout, but some original details remain. These include an 18th-century Rococo style cast iron fireplace with a reeded wood surround, plaster cornices, and an upper staircase featuring plain spindles and turned newels.
